The artwork, which shows a judge hitting a protester with a gavel, was confirmed by the elusive street artist.

    And they’re not even ruled by the conservative parties. This is the good outcome!

      I’m absolutely baffled at Labour. The Tories were a complete clown show, and it should have been trivial to put up some serious opposition against them, but they never did. Only when the Tories really burned out, did Labour win, and they’re immediately giving us Tories-light. The same shit, just toned down 20%.

      When does the UK start voting for better parties? Replace the Tories with LibDem and Labour with the Greens. If I lived in England, I’d be upset I couldn’t vote for SNP. Every other party is better than these two.

        Let me tell you about the tale of Neoliberalism and the center “left”. Our story begins in the 1980s, but it really takes of in the early 2000s. At the time a bloke named Tony was ruling the UK as prime minister and he had a fine Atze ruling Germany, whose name was Gerhard…

        Together they dismantled social security, raised taxes on their people, and lowered taxes on their rich friends. They sold much of their realm to their rich friends, at a staggering discount. They said this would be best for the people and the global markets would demand, but also reward as such…

        And they got into power because everyone was going “oh shit, we don’t want another Trump”, then just run full steam ahead into issues that will piss off their base. Someone who hasn’t been kept up to date could be excused for thinking the party restricted trans people and arresting peace protesters en masse was the more conservative party.

          They followed their conquering of the Labour Party leadership thanks to a campaign of slanderous accusations of anti-semitism against the previous leader which was done with the help of Israeli-linked Jewish Groups in Britain, with a purge of Leftwingers from the Labour Party.

          So it was pretty much expectable that they would be authoritarian rightwingers since that’s exactly how they behaved and they associated and got support from exactly that kind of people (having basically been gifted power by the Zionists back when people still thought accusations of anti-semitism coming from Jewish rightwingers were genuine rather than politically weaponized claims of racism).

          Mind you, they only won because Britain has First Past The Post and (which is not really a Democratic member of parliament allocation system) and the Reform party split the Tory vote making them lose the top place in lots of electoral circles.

          The system in Britain is rotten and the stink has risen enough to be unbearable.
